Hey mate, that's appears to be the turbolabs WG repair kit... I think it should be cheaper if you purchase it directly from them? Hoping not to have to resort to that at this point though!

Yes my turbos are fine at this stage (and live a very stress-free life) so no need for a fix here. Just posted it up for other forum members. I wish we had a stock frame turbo option that eliminated these rattle problems entirely for the N54 platform. It's big money to swap turbos so you want your replacements to not exhibit the same problems...

Totally agree... If you're fixing up the WG, you might as well upgrade the whole turbo whilst you're at it!

Yep...a single turbo upgrade with reliable external wastegate haha. Shame even that option is very expensive once you pull all the necessary parts together.
